Cross examined Search for badge
was made inside; held horse for Robin

was holding him; It was not necessary
for four men to hold Creighton, but he
was the first one arrested; when Muller
was in charge of policeman and Dias
walking behind him, they we're about
middle of the street; when Dowsett
laid hands on Dias, the latter turned
and caught him by both arms; Dow
sett said to Dias when told he was
arrested that he diln't want to be
arrested but wanted to assist the police;
did not sec Dowsett strike Dias; don't
know whether Dias had badge; know
he is policeman; Creighton was being
brought along under arrest when |
arrived; when Robinson went into the
crowd, they were on the sidewalk; saw
no one interfere with him, lost sight Of
him in crowd; Kamuka was running all
round, with his whistle in his mouth,
blowing il at short intervals; Kamuka
was very much excited, as / was, see

THE DEFENSE.
II. M. Whitney, jr., sworn-I was
at Mr. Muller's Saturday evening; your
self (Mr Hatch) and Mr.. Whiting were
the first who left; should think the
others left two or three minutes later;
we all came out together slowly toward
gate, Mr.. Muller with us; were not all
IN bunch, but struggling along; when
we got to gate there we're two horse
men outside; whether they we're stand
ing and waiting or had just come up
do not know; one Of our party said he
wondered who these men we're; up TIL
then there had been no shouting, only
! ordinary tones OF conversation; when
the question was asked who these men
we're, some o. us were on sidewalk
Dowsett answered by saying, after
( looking few seconds, "Why, think
I that's the fellow hauled Tony and us
{ up the other night" one Of the mer
j, then said, with an oath, eyes, know
4 you, Jack Dowsett," and ia the sam,
e sentence said, "You are the man
want to get at" Dowsett said, "Wel
e come along them" next the other horse
5 man rode up, pushing his horses nos
d among us, and said in effect, "I'll fgh
o you, Jack Dowsett," then got dowI
!, from his horse, took off his coat, ant
e told Dowsett to strike him first; SOM
h of us said in substance, "Whats tn
use of kicking up row." When tn
Y nan, whom / learned afterward va
Il Dias, took off his coat saw his badge
e didn't know till then that he was
); policeman; Dowsett told him that if h
Il would take off his badge and conn
), inside of Null er's yard he would hgh
z. him; DIas repeated two or three times
r "You strike me first" Dowsett backed
d of little and Dias rushed forwar
d and caught hold of Dowsett, it appear
n ed to me taking him with arms roun,
d his body; Dias did not say anythin
e about arre sting him or ask him to 6
Il along with him; most Of our fellow
N rushed in to separate them, did m,
D self; did not strike Dias, neither the
e. nor at any time during the evening
d did not strike Robinson any time; Il
10 to time he rushed forward and seize
d Dowsett, Dias had not been struck b
al anyone; l did not see Dowsett cate
| mold oil Dias' bride, and am very pos
h tive he did not strike him; it is nj
Re true that Dias was prevented froI
a passing along the street by anybod
D. rushing out and Selling his horse
N bride; after Dias came up to Dowse
IL It was a general scuffle, all pushing an
e. pulling; my object was to get Dowse
k. inside the gate, so as to separate hi
so from Dias; the gate gave way an
er several of the men went down, but
W. did not; / stepped back out into Il
H. road; Widemann was back Of Dowset
IS; nearer the gate, up to this time; dor
n: know what he was doing, it being
ID general scufle to pull Dowsett into Il
d. yard; being outside the yard after Il
.e- scufile did not see what happen'
ed inside; was standing out on the sire,
Id do not remember any express wag,
Sc near us; heard poIceman's whist
ok blowing, remember 1t shortly after Dl
in and Dowsett clenched, do not knC
W. who blew it; after time | saw sever
he policemen round and saw Mr.. Null
